113TH CONGRESS 

1ST SESSION H. RES. 445 

Urging the P5+1 to only accept a final nuclear agreement with Iran that 

definitively prevents Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability, 

ceases Iran’s construction of advanced missiles and warheads, suspends 

Iran’s support for terrorist organizations, and reduces human rights 

violations within Iran. 

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 

DECEMBER 12, 2013 

Mr. ROSKAM (for himself, Mr. MCCAUL, Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas, and Mr. 

LIPINSKI) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 

Committee on Foreign Affairs 

RESOLUTION 

Urging the P5+1 to only accept a final nuclear agreement 

with Iran that definitively prevents Iran from acquiring 

a nuclear weapons capability, ceases Iran’s construction 

of advanced missiles and warheads, suspends Iran’s support for terrorist organizations, and reduces human 

rights violations within Iran. 

Whereas a nuclear-capable Iran threatens United States national security and global stability; 

Whereas since at least the late 1980s, Iran has engaged in 

a sustained and well-documented pattern of illicit and deceptive activities to acquire a nuclear weapons capability;

Whereas United States policy is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability; 

Whereas in November 2013, the P5+1 and Iran announced 

an interim nuclear agreement and the intent to reach a 

final comprehensive agreement over Iran’s nuclear program; 

Whereas the United Nations Security Council has adopted 

multiple resolutions since 2006 demanding of Iran its full 

and sustained suspension of all uranium enrichment-related and reprocessing activities and its full cooperation 

with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on 

all outstanding issues related to its nuclear activities, 

particularly those concerning the possible military dimensions of its nuclear programs; 

Whereas Secretary of State John Kerry has publicly stated 

that the United States does not recognize Iran’s self-proclaimed right to enrich uranium; 

Whereas the United Nations Security Council has adopted 

multiple resolutions demanding of Iran its full and sustained suspension of heavy-water production efforts, including the heavy-water reactor at Arak; 

Whereas Iran routinely denies international inspectors access 

to suspected nuclear and weapons-testing facilities in violation of international agreements, including the Parchin 

military complex; 

Whereas Iran is developing an arsenal of advanced long-range 

ballistic missiles, including some already capable of 

reaching India, North Africa, western China, and parts 

of eastern Europe, and is expected to be able to flighttest an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable 

of reaching the United States by 2015;

Whereas, on June 9, 2010, the United Nations Security 

Council adopted Resolution 1929, which states that ‘‘Iran 

shall not undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.’’; 

Whereas the United States Department of State has designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984 

and has characterized Iran as the ‘‘most active state 

sponsor of terrorism’’ in the world; 

Whereas Iran is a world leader in human rights violations, 

including the persecution of religious minorities and imprisonment of United States citizens; and 

Whereas economic sanctions have brought Iran’s economy to 

the brink of collapse, forcing the Government of Iran to 

enter serious negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program: 

Now, therefore, be it
